Glenn Lewis Frey (November 6, 1948 – January 18, 2016)

(FofNews) – Glenn Frey, a founding member of the rock band the Eagles, died
Monday in New York City.

Frey “fought a courageous battle” for the past several weeks, according to his
publicist, but succumbed to complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute
ulcerative colitis and pneumonia.

Guitarist Frey and drummer Don Henley formed the Eagles in Los Angeles the
early 1970s, along with guitarist Bernie Leadon and bassist Randy Meisner. They
would become a top act over the next decade, embodying the melodic California
sound.
